Patricia Sawyer Benner is a nursing theorist, academic and author. She is known for one of her books, From Novice to Expert: Excellence and Power in Clinical Nursing Practice (1984). Benner described the stages of learning and skill acquisition across the careers of nurses, applying the Dreyfus model of skill acquisition to nursing
Brothers Stuart and Hubert Dreyfus originally proposed the model in 1980 in an 18-page report on their research at the University of California, Berkeley, Operations Research Center for the United States Air Force Office of Scientific Research. [1] The model was elaborated in more detail in their book Mind Over Machine (1986/1988). [2]
Dreyfus' thinking has also been very influential with Patricia Benner, in the field of nursing (e.g. there's training to be a nurse, and then there's really being a nurse). If you wanted to stretch, Dreyfus' reading of Heidegger puts us into the field of practice (or practice theory).

Physicians have traditionally lagged behind in their use of technology (i.e., electronic patient records).
The patient health record is the primary legal record documenting the health care services provided to a person in any aspect of the health care system. The term includes routine clinical or office records, records of care in any health related setting, preventive care, lifestyle evaluation, research protocols and various clinical databases.
An example of an application of informatics in medicine is bioimage informatics.. Dutch former professor of medical informatics Jan van Bemmel has described medical informatics as the theoretical and practical aspects of information processing and communication based on knowledge and experience derived from processes in medicine and health care.
Easterling and colleagues (REF LHS 2022) proffer an elaborate taxonomy of LHS elements and use this to describe an LHS-IP, or “Learning Health System In Practice” as a model for health care systems who seek to become an LHS. [26] The motivations for applying LHS concepts are largely and logically focused on improving the quality of care.
Health informatics (also called health care informatics, medical informatics, clinical informatics, or biomedical informatics) is a discipline at the intersection of information science, computer science, and health care. Software packages should be placed in Category:Health software.
